O’AHU

During a recent trip to Hawaii, the journey unfolded through a blend of wildlife, culture, and natural landscapes. The Honolulu Zoo offered a close look at diverse species with the backdrop of Diamond Head. At the Byodo-In Temple, a replica of Japan’s historic landmark, the serene surroundings and intricate architecture create a moment of reflection within the Koʻolau Mountains. The adventure continued into the Ewa Forest Reserve, where quiet trails and dense greenery revealed a wilder side of Oʻahu. Together, these experiences painted a portrait of Hawaii that was vibrant, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature.
